...and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
— Luke 2:7

Although our first picture of Jesus is as a baby in a manger, it must not be our last. The Christ-child in the manger has been made into a beautiful Christmas scene, but we cannot leave him there. This tiny, helpless baby lived an amazing life, died for us, ascended to heaven, and will come back to this earth as king of kings. Christ will rule the world and judge all people according to their decision about him. Do you still picture Jesus as a baby in a manger — or is he your Lord? Make sure you don't underestimate Jesus. Let him grow up in your life.
